About
Pretend Cars Racing is back—rebuilt from the ground up. Keeping its signature balance between arcade fun and simulation feel, Pretend Cars Racing 2 brings more cars, more tracks, and more ways to race. Create and share custom circuits with the built-in Track Creator and Steam Workshop support, experience a dynamic day–night cycle designed for long multi-class events, and enjoy a long list of improvements across the board.
A refreshed physics approach makes the game instantly enjoyable from your very first laps—yet deeply rewarding as you improve. You’ll find yourself chasing that perfect lap time whether you’re racing AI, battling friends, or pushing for the top spot on the global leaderboards.
The game supports split-screen multiplayer so you can race against friends, locally or via the Internet even if they don't own a copy, through Steam's Let's Play Together!
The base game includes 37 tracks inspired by real-world circuits and original layouts, plus 7 car categories spanning multiple eras of motorsport—each demanding a different driving style.
Alongside nearly 40 included tracks, you can expand the roster with your own creations or community-made circuits. The Track Creator is easy to use and fully integrated with Steam Workshop. You can also customize the names and looks of the entire driver grid to make every championship feel personal.
Time progression during races adds fresh challenges. Let the hours pass naturally—or speed them up for faster transitions—to recreate night races and endurance-style events, even under the rain.
The revised handling model improves control and steering feel, and supports FWD, RWD, and AWD cars. It brings the game closer to simulation while keeping its arcade spirit.
It’s not just lighting: upgraded particle effects, improved audio, and persistent skid marks make every race feel more intense and alive.

calm luh car game
I'm always looking for games that don't need a ton of processor or graphics power that I can run on my laptop for killing some time every now and then. I have a few other top-down games like Super Woden, Ultimate 2d and Art of Rally (the latter not really falling under the "low power" games...but it is top-down). This one runs perfectly on my older Thinkpad running Fedora Linux and I found it quick to suss out the controls. I started it on the lowest AI settings, but quickly bumped it up as I learned. The AI is decent...nothing to write home about, but typical of this type of an arcade game. Very happy with the game and look forward to seeing it grow!
El juego es una pasada de v xd, me encanto tanto que ya es mi nuevo vicio, me gustaria que en alguna actualizacion pongan autos nascar plis. eso es todo
Excelente juego. Me recuerda a la adolescencia, agarrar la pc y meterle a un juego de un emulador con mil jueguitos y en una de esas enganchabas uno de carreras. El juego es súper completo, tanto para jugar y reirte un rato con tus amigos para ver cómo derrapan o ponerte súper pro competitivo. Diferentes modos, súper personalizable, multijugador, por momento casi un simulador. Súper recomendable, una ganga para las horas de juego que te puede dar.
bellissimo sequel molto giocabile, il primo capitolo della serie era gia molto divertente aggiunte delle chicche tra cui l endurance e il susseguirsi del ciclo giorno notte consigliato.
Uno de los mejores juegos de carreras que he jugado en mi vida.
I’m not usually a fan of racing games, but I liked the first one, so I gave this a try and really enjoyed it. The gameplay feels great, and the AI is better than in the first game. The pixel art looks very nice, especially when the cars zoom in. Definitely worth it. If you’re not sure, try the demo.
Como alguien que juega iRacing para simulacion pura y juegos retro de carreras, este juego me parece espectacular. Se toma las carreras muy en serio, los deferentes autos tienen diferente peso, aceleracion, inercia, etc... Hay que apretender las pistas, estrategias, etc... Me recuerda mucho al viejo Death Rally, pero orientado a las carreras de la vida real como IMSA, WEC, F1, etc... Recomendado.
This is a juicy, well-executed racer. The physics are nicely varied between cars, and have a floaty-ness that rewards properly setting up corner sequences. The game is overflowing with small details that add to the charm. The AI is a little chaotic and and too slow at the moment. They struggle to navigate traffic and will often careen off track every other corner for the first lap or two. Their braking behavior doesn't really match the player's, as they will over-slow before turning in rather than carrying the speed on corner entry. Even on 100% AI, the challenge is less about executing consistent laps and closing the gap to the car ahead, and more about avoiding carnage. That's still good fun, but I'd like to see the AI be more race-able, particularly for the future Career mode.
¡Hermoso! ¡El arcade de carreras de vista cenital más entretenido está de vuelta! Aunque todavía está en desarrollo, ya se puede, disfrutar múltiples categorías y circuitos. Esta nueva edición permite jugar multijugador local para 2 personas. Además es notable la mejora en los controles, los gráficos y el sonido. Todo está más detallado, aunque manteniendo el espíritu del original. ¡Y lo mejor es que es desarrollo argentino!
